The (Dreadful) DAY – Aftermath Update 1

This is a continuation of the story I posted 2 days ago about the freak accident that happened to me and my family along Pasig City. Consider it somewhat of an update…

For the past 2 days, I’ve been text messaging the lady I sideswiped asking her how she was feeling and if she has somehow slightly recovered from the mishap. Yesterday, she informed me that during the accident she lost her “South Sea Pearl Necklace” and that she would inquire as to how much something like that would cost and would request that I shoulder the value of the loss (that already sounded suspicious). Earlier today she texted and said that according to the same reading of the x-ray results that were taken during the day of the accident, she might have a possible fracture on the neck shoulder area and the right femur. Note that she was struck on her left side at the hip area and that she was x-rayed ONLY on her left side.

During the first reading, she was already cleared by the doctor saying she didn’t have any fracture or injury.

I replied to her message saying that, in as much as I promised to shoulder all medical expenses, I am also very much concerned about what hospital she would be planning to take these additional checkups at. I explained to her that my finances are not as optimistic as she might think and that our cash flow is very “tight”.

All of a sudden, she replied soon after saying that her family was actually still pondering the possibility of pressing charges against me. WTF?!!!

I immediately responded, informing her that during her checkup at the hospital at the day of the accident her cousin (who was speaking on her behalf) promised not to file any complaint nor charge against me and requested that I only shoulder her medical expenses. This was said in front of the police officer who accompanied us to the hospital and was taking down the report. With that being said, the police returned my driver’s license in front of all of them making it clear that once it has been returned to me, I shall be cleared from any legal suit.

She now states that she never said they would NOT be filing any legal complaint and that it is seriously being considered. She even continued on saying that she wasn’t after the money nor is she after it.

After everything that has transpired the past 2 days… I find that quite hard to believe anymore. Not that I want to sound untrusting or doubtful, but why the sudden change of tone? Brainwashed, maybe?

This is starting to get all too frustrating. I have yet to get to the bottom of all this. Updates shall be posted as they happen. Sigh!
